Non-citizens who commit crimes in Canada shouldn’t get discounted sentences simply so they can avoid deportation. But in the Canadian justice system, that’s exactly what happens. We are beholden to judges who believe the rules apply differently to everyone.
It’s no secret that charging an electric vehicle is often less expensive than fueling a gas car, but many don’t think about the higher purchase prices. A recent iSeeCars study showed that people tend to drive EVs much less, making their cost per mile much higher than that of internal combustion vehicles.

OTTAWA – India’s Foreign Affairs Minister accused Canada of welcoming criminals from his country in response to the RCMP’s recent arrests in a homicide that has roiled tensions between the two countries.
Subrahmanyam Jaishankar also called Ottawa the No. 1 driver of what he described as a violent movement of Sikhs trying to carve their own country out of India.
“It’s not so much a problem in the U.S.; our biggest problem right now is in Canada,” Jaishankar said Saturday during remarks at a forum for intellectuals in India.
Israel has dropped leaflets urging 100,000 residents of eastern Rafah to evacuate ahead of an expected military operation in the southern Gazan city.
“The IDF is about to operate with force against the terror organisation in the area you currently reside. Anyone in the area puts themselves and their family members in danger,” the IDF said in the leaflets.
There are currently 1.3 million Palestinians sheltering in Rafah, most of whom fled heavy bombing in the rest of the Gaza Strip for the relative safety of the only city that has not yet seen intense fighting.
It’s not rocket science.
Ensure families have access to affordable, high-quality child care and guess what? You get drastically better outcomes. Not just for kids, who get a fair start in life, but also for parents, who can return to the workforce far earlier and with greater confidence.
For those, like myself, who advocated for the national $10-a-day child care strategy for years, achieving these results was never driven by short-term political calculus. We understood that the true impact of this policy would unfold over decades, not just in months or years; that politics, at its best, is one generation making and keeping a promise to the next.
Being unable to rent or buy a home is a disincentive to raising a family.
This is an attempt to right a rock wrong. One of the most famous musical myths is simply not true.
The daughter of Mama Cass Elliot from folk vocal group Mamas and the Papas, Owen Elliot-Kugell, has a clear message to share about her mother’s cause of death: “There was a ham sandwich, but she didn’t eat it and she didn’t choke on it. So enough with the jokes.”
And there have been a lot of jokes, for almost half a century, including by Mike Myers as Austin Powers.
Who made them dress like that?
“Activists are receiving backlash, being labelled as antisemitic, and facing various consequences for shouting chants such as, ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,’ as well as calling for ‘intifada.’
OTTAWA – The Israel-Hamas war has led to a spike in “violent rhetoric” from “extremist actors” that could prompt some in Canada to turn to violence, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service warns.
The statement comes as newly released documents illustrate discussions last fall between the spy agency, the federal Public Safety Department and Muslim and Jewish leaders about responding to a reported uptick in hate crimes spurred by the conflict.
“While the long-term impacts of the current crisis cannot be easily predicted, it is clear that this conflict has raised tensions within our society,” wrote spokesman Eric Balsam.
It is the spiritual home of Italy’s motor industry, a land of fast cars where Ferrari and Maserati produce their most sought after models.
Now, as President Xi arrives in Europe to face down claims Beijing is seeking to corner the market on electric vehicles, the town of Modena has declared war on China over alleged plans by one company to misappropriate its hallowed name.
The row centres on the SU7, the debut electric car from the Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi that has made waves since its launch in March, gaining 50,000 orders in China in the first 27 minutes of sales.
A mayor in British Columbia has had his travel budget removed and been banned from committees after allegedly distributing a book on residential schools that is critical of media response to alleged unmarked graves linked to residential schools in Kamloops and elsewhere.
Quesnel Mayor Ron Paull was accused of attempting to hand out copies of the book “Grave Error: How the Media Misled Us (and the Truth about Residential Schools)” by Thomas Flanagan and C.P. Champion. The book, which contains a series of essays, examines the media’s response to the May 2021 announcement of the alleged grave site discovery.
A Green Party councillor who shouted “Allahu Akbar!” after being elected said Palestinians had the right to “fight back” on the day of the October 7 massacre.
Mothin Ali, 42, has previously described a Jewish chaplain forced into hiding by threats from protestors, as a “creep” and a “kind of animal”, and suggested that he had deliberately attempted to “kill women and children” by serving with the Israeli army as a reservist after the outbreak of the war in Gaza.
Why weren't they immediately tried & convicted of treason & put before a firing squad? FFS! @fancypants_s https://t.co/VilJY4AVBV

Former B.C. Conservative MP Kenny Chiu feels vindicated by preliminary findings from a federal inquiry that found foreign interference may have cost him his seat in the 2021 election.
Chui, who ran in the riding of Steveston — Richmond East, is calling on the Liberal government to follow through with its promise of a foreign agent registry like the ones established in the U.S. and Australia.
No one will go to jail. The only ones who won’t lose faith are the Liberals.
The nuclear industry is seeking to establish a beachhead in Canada’s North – literally – with a proposed floating nuclear power plant to serve remote Indigenous communities.
Westinghouse, a U.S.-based reactor vendor, has partnered with Prodigy Clean Energy, a Montreal-based company, to develop a transportable nuclear power plant. Essentially a barge housing one or more of Westinghouse’s eVinci microreactors, it would be built in a shipyard and moved thousands of kilometres by a heavy-lift carrier to its destination in the Far North. There it could be moored within a protected harbour, or installed on land near the shore.
Don’t get me wrong I’m on Team Godzilla.
We know from detransitioners — those who once identified as trans but now accept their sex — that the internet presents many dangers to unhappy, lonely children.
This theme appears multiple times in the Cass report, the recent independent review commissioned by NHS England to investigate what went wrong with its main gender youth clinic.
In what’s likely to be a watershed moment, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has ended the use of diversity statements for faculty hiring, making it the first elite private university to backtrack on the practice that has been roundly criticised as a political litmus test.
It didn’t take long, once Johannes Gutenberg introduced the printing press, for those threatened by its power to react.
Sure, a few eyebrows were raised when, in 1455, Mr. Gutenberg first used his invention to print the Bible, making it more available for people to read and interpret for themselves. But a generation later, after rogue priest Martin Luther stepped out of line with the Roman Catholic church’s orthodoxies and triggered the Reformation, the suppression of ideas that challenged the status quo really got rolling.
